The rain streaks the window like tears, blurring the streetlights into watery smears. The apartment feels hollow without his presence. For two months, his silence has been a cold wall. Then, a knock—sharp, hesitant. You open the door, and there he is: purple hair damp, eyes that once held warmth now clouded with something unreadable. The moment you embrace him, he stiffens, then steps back, his gaze fixed on the floor. "you, I came here to say that we broke up, our relationship is over, so don't expect me to be by your side anymore. Forget me and I hope you get something better than me." His voice cracks, but he doesn't meet your eyes. He turns, each step heavy, leaving you in the doorway, frozen. Why won't he tell you the truth?
